Study on Antioxidant Activities of Ethanol Extract of Paeonia lactiflora and Different Polar Parts in vitro / 中国药房

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:To study antioxidant activities of ethanol extract of Paeonia lactiflora (CREt) and different polar parts in vitro. METHODS:CREt was prepared with 95% ethanol. CREt (extracted by 50% ethanal) was extracted with aether petrolei,acetic ether and n-butyl alcohol to obtain aether petrolei part (CRP part),acetic ether part (CRE part),n-butyl alcohol part(CRB part)and water part(CRW part). The ability of CREt and different polar parts eliminating DPPH·,O2-· and ·OH were investigated (mass concentrations of CREt and different polar parts were respectively 0.75-12,0.5-6,1.25-15 mg/ml in above 3 tests) and compared with ascorbic acid (VC,0.2 mg/ml) group. RESULTS:The maximum elimination rate of CREt to DPPH·, ·OH and O2-· were(97.55±0.25)%,(81.45±0.20)% and(75.28±0.41)%,IC50 were 1.629,1.789 and 5.268 mg/ml;those of CRE part to those radicals were (82.54 ± 0.36)%,(77.74 ± 0.42)% and (72.16 ± 0.73)%,IC50 were 2.481,1.918 and 6.005 mg/ml;that of CRB part to ·OH reached to(62.53±0.83)%,IC50 was 7.232 mg/ml,but to DPPH·、O2-· were less than 45%;those of CRP part and CRW part to those radicals were all lower than 40%. Each part could eliminate 3 radicals in dose-dependent manner,but were all poorer than VC group,with statistical significance (P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS:The CREt and CRE part show strongest antioxidant activities in vitro,and other parts have weak antioxidant effect.
